Heart of Fire

Adventure 8: The Big Desert of Suck and The Heart of Fire

21

APR/13

-went south, and eventually climbed up the cliff-face
-came upon a massive desert
-nothing else to do, so started moving south in teh desert
-i keept thinking i was traveling south, but i just ended up getting lost
-found a sinkhole in teh sand on accident, tried to avoid it
-fuckin Tremor worms still found me, but i managed to kill them more or less
-at one point, accidently found myself in a massive sarlocc pit where it tried to eat me, i courageously ran away to fight another day
-after a couple of days of wandering, came upon a whole bunch of worm pits
-starting fighting one worm, and it deafened me with a wail and brought 2 of its chump-ass buddies
-i killed the first one, and started working on bashing he second and smaller one
-the bigger one ate it, and swallowed me
-i fought the creature from inside its throat, and dealt some damage, but felt an off rocking thati couldnt explain from inside the creature
-all of a sudden, there was a massive gash opened up on the outside of the worm, and i saw through the whole a even bigger flying shark eating it
-i hurdled toward the ground and fell with a crunch
-i then climbed out of the carcass of the worm and saw the massive flying shark looming over me, not attacking
-this was the giant shark the blue cheiftain rode
-i managed to climb on top of the shark, and we zoomed off in the direction i thought was south
-we got lost, again (my bad)
-we made a quick stop to the ground to get one of the worms and feed the shark, which i found out was named Blood Shadow
-as we were traversing the skies, we got attacked by harpies! (after flying in circles for 2 weeks….)
-the harpies said that Stonecutter woudl have his prize, and we killed them with not too much effort
-Blood Shadow ate them, but not before we coudl get an odd device from one of the bodies that pointed in directions (a compass)
-we finally got in the right direction, and started flying quickly south
-around this time, i started noticing hat all of my equipment had started to degrade a good bit, and was getting worse. without the protection of torag’s shield, i was exposed and vulnerable to this land
-we traveled south, and saw a massive landscape bathed in fire and ash, and accidenely flew staright into some black clouds
-within these clouds was a monster breed of fire, a greater fire elemental
-after defeating the creature, we continued forward, and saw a small temple ahead of us, The Heart of Fire
-i landed, and dismounted while Blood Shadow left me and i traveled up the winding path to the great temple, but another creature barred my entrance
-i fought out of nessecity, and slew it
-i entered the bottom of the temple, and was greeted by several smaller creatures of ill intent, so i prepared for a battle, seeing as how i was outnumbered
-they wanted nothign to do with me, seeing and knowing my great battle prowess
-i continued forth, wading deeper into the temple and up the ramp into the main antechamber of the temple
-within the temple, i saw many things: the roof was heavily damaged and had many cracks and breaks throughout it, there were old columns up and shattered about, what appeared to a large demon pinned to a large stone behind a massive dias/alter, what appeared to be evil runes written in blood around the an altar, and on that alter was Oltar Stonecutter holding Torag’s Hammer pointing down at Karia’s chest as she lay on the dias
-as soon as he saw me, Stonecutter plunged the massive sword straight down in Karia’s chest and a massive ray of light cascaded forth from the wound on Karia’s chest forming a ball of bright light right above the temple that pulsed and grew with a life of its own
-enraged beyond all meaning, i challenged the coward to mortal combat and charged
-there was this bullshit invisible force-field that block my path to the coward
- went back, and presented myself to him, and waited for the strumpet to come to mem and i goaded him by smugging one of the runes with my foot
-this seemed to anger teh wee bitch
-he cast spells at me, but the spells we absorbed by the shield and hammer, storing epic power within them
-he teleported behind me, like teh absolute coward he is, and attacked me
-i swung on him with all of my might and strength, bashing my hammer into his face and discharging all of the spent up spells rightly
-this attacked staggered him, and enraged as i was, he was not ready for my onslaught
-impervious to pain and any other thought i beat him with my hammer like a dog and killed him easily. with his dying breathe, he looked at me and said “you fool, they are coming!” (or some shit, whatever)
-i rushed to Karia’s side, and craddled hr head as best i could, to find her wound beyond my help to heal, and the remains of Torag’s Shield still on her chest (i collected teh shards in a small pouch)
-i comforted her in her last moments, and she died in my arms
-Torag’s Hammer was there for teh taking, the object of my quest, the source of my adventure
-i collected the loot form Stonecutter’s corpse, killed the demon (getting a holy avenger in teh process), and carried Karia’s body outside the temple, which still had the glowing ball of light over it
-as i walked outside, holding her body, i saw an approaching army of around 800 barbarians, 3 dragons flying overhead, and what appeared to be a circle of demons summoning something
-i gently placed Karia down, grabbed up Torag’s Hammer, and was immediatly sheathed in badass holy armor
-i dramatically faced the coming army, turned my head back around to see Karia slumped over dead, and said “For you Karia, for you…” and i walked toward teh forces approaching me
-with Torag’s Hammer, i cleaved through the foes with absolute ease, never even taking damage and devastating the army very quickly
-i fought their seeming leader, a giant of a human with two battleaxes. he seemed very surprised when he couldnt hurt me, and then i kicked his ass
-well, that is untilla freaking red dragon stomped on him and made his ass grass and dirt
-i stood toe-to-toe with the beast and its rider, striking hard and fast with my new weapon made for gods
-i slew the dragon and continued on, like a fuckin boss
-i noticed that the group of what appeared to be demons we summoning something, and far in teh distance what looked like a mountain was rising from teh ground
-as i walked to my doom knowingly, a familiar voice cried out to me to stop
-an angelic figure fly down in front of me, identifying it as the spirit that harbored with Torag’s Sheild, and the being asked for Torag’s hammer
-being a paladin, and a servant to holy beings and my god, i gave him the epic sword
-he flew off into the distance, toward the massive mountain that was being summoned, and for the first time, i saw the mountain was in fact a massive, unbelievably huge colussus.
-and epic battle went under way, with beams of light hitting the moving mountain and it in turn slapping around the angel now fighting it
-in the end, the pure beams of light energy vanquished the monstrosity
-i then saw Torag’s Hammer spinning through the air, and then grabbed by one of the dragon riders who flew off into the east
-Stonecutter dead, Karia dead, The Heart of fire found, and Torag’s hammer lost again, i am now trapped in a lava covered wasteland
-just another day in my life
-my quest continues…
